Everyone’s favorite WWOOFer is back!

Since the last time I spent some much needed time at Light Footsteps (read about it here), I’ve finally realized that growing things, and teaching communities how to grow things, is actually really important to me. Because of that, I’ve recently started a journey to becoming an urban farmer. Over the past week, however, I’ve taken a break from stressing over the approaching school year to try out a different season at Light Footsteps. You’ll have to forgive me, because the August humidity has all my thoughts jumbled, so I’ll keep the words short and share some photos of this week with you.

Most of my mornings were spent spreading wood chips on the paths in the Keyhole Garden

I finally got to meet Pony. I would hate to make him insecure about his size, but in my mind he’s a horse.

What is the plant that is below the beans and above the rose of Sharon? I just found two plants in my garden today! Also have a ton of rose of Sharon blossoms. I’ve never harvested them before this year. Now to figure out how to use them!
Thanks!!
